Effect of Tillage and Nitrogen Fertilization on Soil Properties and Yield of Five Durum Wheat Germoplasms in a Dry Area of Morocco
In Morocco, cereal production is below the expected potential. The adoption of best agricultural practices that reduce vulnerability to climate is a major requirement. No-tillage (NT) agriculture is a system that could improve cereal production...
Fermentation Characteristics and Nutritional Value of Avena sativa Genotypes Ensiled with or without Napier Grass (Pennisetum purpureum)
The objective of this study was to investigate the fermentation characteristics and nutritional value of A. sativa genotypes ensiled either solely or in combination with P. purpureum 16791. Three different A. sativa genotypes (SRCPX80AB2806...
Assessing complementary synergies for integrated crop–livestock systems under conservation agriculture in Tunisian dryland farming systems
The aim of this paper is twofold. The first objective is to measure the technical efficiency of mixed crop-livestock (CL) smallholder producers operating under conservation agriculture systems in Tunisian rainfed areas. The second objective is...
Identification of suitable land for supplemental surface irrigation in semi-arid areas of North-western Ethiopia
In arid and semi-arid areas, a shortage of soil moisture limits rainfed crop growth and consequently reduces crop yield. By adding a small amount of water, supplemental irrigation can boost crop yields dramatically. The objective of this study...
Addition of Chickpea Flour in Durum Wheat Flour Makes Tortilla More Nutritious and Palatable, and Technologically Acceptable
In order to contribute to the reduction of nutritional deficiencies in Morocco, this study was undertaken to develop a healthier tortilla with higher iron and protein, while maintaining adequate technological and sensory qualities. Composite...
3D Printing Technology as An Effective Solution To Build The Faba Bean Seed Meter Plate With Various Materials
The difference in some dimensions of the seeds prevents the optimal determination of the dimensions and shape of the holes in the feeding device, which reduces the efficiency of seed distribution during planting. The design and building of...
Innovations in Agronomic Management for Adaptation to Climate Change in Legume Cultivation
Climate change has significant impacts on agriculture and has the potential to further impact it through changing rainfall patterns, drought, floods, increases in average high temperature, and other climatic factors. The negative effects of...
Pathways for improving rangeland governance under constraining land tenure systems: Application of a participatory Bayesian Belief approach
This paper analyzes the complex relationships of factors influencing rangeland governance in the arid areas. A Bayesian Belief Network (BBN) model was developed in a participatory way to illustrate and assess the weight of a combination of...
Phytochemical Profiling and Untargeted Metabolite Fingerprinting of the MEDWHEALTH Wheat, Barley and Lentil Wholemeal Flours
An important research target is improving the health benefits of traditional Mediterranean, durum wheat-based foods using innovative raw materials. In this study, we characterised wholemeal flours obtained from a traditional durum wheat cv...
